In May 2025, green tourism has become a mainstream trend across China, with travelers increasingly prioritizing sustainability and environmental responsibility. Hotels, tour operators, and transportation providers are adopting eco-friendly practices to meet the demands of conscious consumers.
Several national parks, including Jiuzhaigou Valley and Zhangjiajie, have implemented strict visitor limits and digital reservation systems to protect fragile ecosystems. At the same time, eco-lodges powered by renewable energy and zero-waste camping tours have emerged in remote areas.
The government has also taken steps to encourage sustainable travel, launching campaigns promoting low-carbon footprints and carbon-offset travel options. Major travel platforms now highlight “green-certified” accommodations and routes, helping travelers make informed choices.
According to a recent survey, over 70% of Chinese travelers under the age of 35 consider environmental impact when planning their trips, indicating a long-term shift in travel behavior.
As the world focuses on climate change and biodiversity conservation, China’s green tourism movement is setting a promising example for responsible travel development.
